Reflections...

This arched mirror hangs on a narrow wall in our family room, facing the sliding glass doors that lead to our deck. In a previous life, it was a dark brown mirror that had long been separated from the bureau it was originally made for. At 28"w x 44"h, it's an impressive size, just what I was looking for. It didn't take long for me to paint it a creamy white and sand it along the edges so a little of its original character peeked through. Depending on where you sit in our dining room, this is what you see when looking into the family room. One day last summer I got my camera out and took a picture of the room and deck, as reflected in the mirror. And now it's a reminder that the warm weather is right around the corner, and that before long we'll once again be enjoying the deck, watching the hummingbirds visit, and eating supper outside each evening... After the long New England winters, I sooo look forward to spring! Wishing you all warm, sunny days...
